Teresa is often quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Institutional Investor, The New York Times, and Worth Magazine.

Teresa offers our listeners an overview of in-home elder care for families and highlights some of the challenges family members and family offices face when they seek and employ such in-house support.

She describes the different options for in-home elder care services family members and family offices should consider and evaluate, and enumerates the pros and cons of these different solutions that families should be aware of and know how to compare.

For families who are in need of in-home support and are in the early stages of this journey, Teresa provides some practical tips for how they can get started and then how they should manage all the change and the steep learning curve they are facing.

There are many risks associated with in-home elder care – personal safety and financial fraud are just two common examples. Teresa explains how families should protect themselves and their elder family members and emphasizes what they should watch out for as they explore these in-home services.
